moving by Rowan LuisThese walls and this bed
my henna and
your dirt...
gave birth to our glob of clay,
and I don't want it to be rejected
when the walls change and the henna grows out
and I discard this sprung mattress that's imbued with sweat,
come,
you and me. 11/11/2007 Author's Note: hmm. yuk.

Posted by Coleman Demiurge on 11/12/07 at 04:35 AM Moving indeed... As I've said before, you're excellent at saying much with few words and you prove as much with this piece. I think I'd refer to this as more of a vignette than I would a poem, or how about both even - that works for me. Any way it is and whatever it is, it is very well done. I especially liked this line: "gave birth to our glob of clay " |
